I post on things I know about. As someone with a criminal justice degree I post in criminal posts. The recent ones on this forum have been about the high profile cases regarding deaths of black people since 2012. I also posted on the Flynn case and several others. If you think I am only focused on black people dying then you are sorely mistaken. I don't care to speak about wedge social issues on this forum because it doesn't matter. 2nd amendment issues are also threads I talk about a lot. Basically anything with logical and legal issues I talk about. The rest of the drivel on this board from either side doesn't interest me. Look at which threads I have started on P&N. Notice not one of them regards a black person dying? Not my fault the majority of people want to discuss cases regarding black peoples deaths. I just throw my two cents in regarding my expertise.
Also, I haven't posted shit about the Breona case until just now. Even in the previous threads. I just didn't have enough info about the case to weigh in one way or another. So unlike most people, when I don't have enough info to at least make a substantive post then I don't.
As for Tatum report. LOL. You do realize practically everything in that info released by that site was cited by the DA in regards to this case right? If you don't like Tatum oh well. Doesn't mean the info he released was wrong or invalid.
as for the tatum report, it has nothing to do with the facts they may or not be reporting--if you get past the first 3 lines in that article and don't realize that this source is complete garbage--it is the most leading, bias-seeking type of language that I have read in years--then you have a problem with critical thinking.
whatever they are reporting ceases to matter--
because they aren't reporting. This is what you are supposed to understand, and these are the basic things that you are supposed to pick up after a college education. Critical thinking is important. I notice that you frequently misuse statistics to make arguments that are rarely, if ever, supported by the numbers that you try to post. This all kind of makes sense, because you don't really strike anyone else as being the type of person that is interested in engaging in the facts and drawing conclusions from those facts (
seeking to disprove what you believe, then failing to), but cherry picking nuggets of information that only support your pre-defined conclusions--this is actually plainly obvious to everyone that reads your posts with an open mind. It's not surprising that you don't see that--it rarely is. So don't be offended by this realization.
That's all I'm saying. These are important skills to have, and it seems they escaped you in ...whatever your requirements were to get that criminal justice degree.
I notice you said that you have a degree in this field. Is it something that you actually do, or something in that past that you've never been paid to do sense (hence, just not being around the field, at all). I don't knock people for having a degree in something, they've definitely exposed themselves to that field, one hopes, to a point that they actually earned that paper. And at least at that time, they are pretty knowledgeable. ...but it doesn't take much time to separate yourself from it, especially if you aren't actually working in it for a period of time. It's not nothing, but it can also be a misleading appeal that sort of exposes the intent in mentioning it...is all I'm saying.
